Alculympics, founded in 2009, is a sports league and triennial multi-sport event involving participants from the current 18 member schools of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities in the Philippines.[1] [2]

The five-day tournament has 14 sports events,[3] including volleyball, basketball, table tennis, taekwondo, arnis, and track and field.[4] One of the highlights of this event is the search for "Miss Alculympics".[2]

The first Alculympics was hosted from January 19 to 23, 2009 by the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina at the Marikina Sports Center, with the theme "Towards a Dynamic Culture of Sportsmanship."

The third Alculympics was hosted from March 6 to 11, 2011 at Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.[3]
